treme apex: male branches elongated-ovoid; perigonial leaves 
oval-oblong, concave, with a short broad acumination: perichae- 
tium 1.5—2 mm. long ; inner leaves erect, loosely sheathing, oval- 
oblong, acuminate, entire or serrulate at apex, ecostate, leaf-cells 
of upper half linear-rhomboidal, gradually much broader and 
looser below. Sporophyte 1.8—2.5 cm. high; seta orange ; capsule 
brown, cylindric, 3.5-4 mm. long, 5—7: 1; operculum conic- 
rostrate; annulus very large, compound, of 3—4 rows of cells ; 
peristome nearly 0.4 mm. long; teeth linear-lanceolate, orange, 
closely and regularly articulate ; upper part of teeth with articula- 
tions more distant, marked with a double line, irregularly striolate 
with striolae vertical to oblique; obscurely striolate below with 
horizontal striolae; segments a little shorter than teeth, linear 
from a lanceolate base; spores minutely roughened, about 13%. 
Type locality in woods along the French Broad River, N. 
Carolina (Sullivant). 
On damp rocks in woods.

Easily distinguished from Æ. compressus, which it resembles, 
by its more slender stem and branches, serrate leaves, longer 
capsule, and striolate teeth.
